Happy Halloween!

Yay it's finally Halloween! (this is a BIG post, beware!) Last day for Halloween themed Mani's! I couldn't decide what to put on my nails....so I did a 5 different things!
On Friday I picked up a Sally's Mini Glow in the dark polish...I couldn't find any other ones :*(
But I found out that this little one, works great! I also found some other beauties, but I will save that for another post!

When I prepared for this, I wasn't really sure what I was going to do... I wanted to try Mummy's, Pumpkins, The blood dripping thing, and my stamps.....

I painted all my nails with Sally Hansen Xtreme Wear's White On. Seche Vited it, and went to dinner, came back with a plan, lol. I did all of the above...

What I used:
My thumb has bats and a church form the Bundle monster plate 224 and 13, using Wet N Wild black creme and Sally Hansen Xtreme Wear Blue It, With Sally's Mini GITD on top.
My index has OPI (my one and only OPI- that's sad :(  Black Shatter, the glow in the dark is under the Shatter.
My middle has a Pumpkin and old tree stamped on it, plate BM-224, with Wet N Wild Black Creme, and Sally Hansen Xtreme Wear Sun Kissed. With the GITD on top.
My Ring is a mummy, using LA Colors Art Deco Striping polish in black, And then a white from a french kit by KISS, and then Big Apple Red Creme by NYC. I forgot to put the GITD under the stripes so I went back and dotted it between the lines and on his eyes.
On my pinkie is the Big Apple Red Creme by NYC, using a dotting tool and the brush from the bottle, with GITD over top.






And I love my toes right now, I have never really used a white as a color, only an accent, but this is really really really pretty! I used an old CQ white polish, with the silver/black pumpkin glitter from this post.


We, I mean Mr. LoveButt, carved pumpkins yesterday while the kids did a craft I picked at Micheal's, and what made me happy was that it didn't need glue, all the pieces had sticky backs, Yay!

15 Week Challenge.....Part One, Week Seven (Halloween)

Yay, Black and White! I went with a halloween themed Mani, because well, its that time of year, perfect! I started off with Finger Paints Where art Renoir? Its a black creme with some silver shimmer. Its on the thicker side, I have noticed most of their polishes are like that, I picked up some thinner and dropped a few drops of it in the FP WAR, and shook it up and it was much better!

I ordered some gems online for .99 cents, there was a post about it on the FB page PAA, and I jumped it, who could pass that up?  Well I forgot about them until I just got them day before yesterday, love getting surprises!

Ok, back on track....

I then added ghost guys, using Sally Hansen Xtreme Wear White On and a dotting tool. Then I used Sinful Colors Black on Black with a dotting tool and did the eyes and mouth....

Added some gems to one ghost...

Then on the other hand, I was just messing around...
I got out my stamping plates, picked out a witch, and a web and spider, stamped those...eh their ok...I used LA Colors silver.

I used a dotting tool to create me own web, same color LA Colors Silver.

A ghost again...

And then some really cool creepy eye, using my new gems...




And for fun, Here are some Pumpkin toes...I used Essie Meet Me at Sunset and a sharpie.





So what do you think?

I finally found it! Crackle!

After numerous trips into Sally Beauty Supply, I finally scored some crackle, four of them! I picked up the grey-Cracked Concrete, blue/green-Crushed Candy, pink-Broken Hearted, and the white-Lightning Bolt. I was so excited about it! ( I also scored the buy two get one free deal) :)

For this manicure I used Sally Hansen's Xtreme Wear - Blue it for my base and China Glaze Crackle - Lightning Bolt for the top. I wore it like that for a day then came home and put some Pure Ice - Oh Baby on it for a change up!

I really like the crackle/shatter polishes. But I guess they aren't for eveyone, some like the look, some hate it and some love it, I love them! They are unique and there are som many ways to wear them.

I got a Boo-Boo :(



Whats your take on the Crackle Polishes? Do you love, hate, or like them?
